| Summary | "Le Canapé couleur de feu" by Louis Charles Fougeret de Monbron is a satirical novel written in the early 18th century. The story revolves around a magical transformation and explores themes of love, lust, and social commentary, particularly on the behaviors and morals of various characters in society. The narrative follows a prosecutor who, after a life of preying on the misfortunes of others, attempts to find happiness in marriage. The plot takes a fantastical turn when a beautiful young man appears from a couch in the couple's home, revealing he was once a gentleman transformed into a sofa as punishment for his misdeeds. As the story unfolds, characters engage in various escapades, including encounters with a fairy, seductive situations with members of the clergy, and hypocritical displays of piety. Ultimately, the protagonist seeks to regain his human form and love, leading to a series of humorous situations that critique societal norms of the time.
